According to the Harris Interactive poll, female poll participants in France said they would rather cut back on sex than to cut back on food as it's the key to felicity for them, whereas French men believe sex is the surest route to happiness, the New York Daily News reported.

The poll also found that women more often cited chocolate or strawberries and men more often plumped for meatier options like foie gras and steak. The polling agency said that for 72% of French people it's worse to have a partner who's bad in bed than bad in the kitchen.
